A waiver and subordination agreement was executed with the holders of the September Debentures. The filing does not provide comparative financial metrics such as revenue, profit, or cash flow for the period.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Registration Rights: The company must file a registration statement for the convertible shares and warrants within 45 days of closing. Failure to file or obtain effectiveness within 90 days (or 120 days for a full review) triggers liquidated damages of 2% of the total subscription amount per month.
- Forced Conversion: The company may force conversion if the common stock market price exceeds $2.52 for 30 consecutive days following the effectiveness of the registration statement.
- Prepayment: The company may prepay the Debentures in cash at 120% of the outstanding principal.
- Payment in Stock: Principal and interest may be paid in common stock if a registration statement is effective and the company is not in default.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the status of the registration statement required within 45 days to avoid 2% monthly liquidated damages.
- Confirm the seniority ranking relative to the September 2007 Debentures and the terms of the subordination agreement.
- Assess the dilution impact of the 2,976,190 warrants and potential conversion of $1,250,000 principal at $0.84 per share.
- Review the company's liquidity position given the first principal payment is due January 31, 2009.
